Thought "Ramble On" would figure high.
Thanks for the links.
Good stuff.
-
"No Quarter"
-
In Through The Out Door has always been my favorite album of theirs, In the Evening probably being the best on that album. Achilles Last Stand is another favorite song of mine.

Probably "Gallows Pole"
-
Ten Years Gone, Traveling Riverside Blues, Fool in the Rain, too many others to list.
-
I'm sorry, we're all wrong. It's "When the Levee Breaks". THAT is the best all time Led Zep tune. "No Quarter" is second. =D
-
Moby Dick
-
Communication Breakdown
Ten Years Gone
The Rain Song
In My Time of Dying
Candy Store Rock
The Rover
Heartbreaker
Bring It On Home
Babe I'm Gonna Leave You
just for starters...my favorite band of all-time.
Sawdust

Boogie With Stu, plus what Scout said.
Oh, also "going to California"
-

Haven't heard 'em all, but it would be hard to beat that one.
-
Immigrant Song
Ramble On
Gallows Pole
What Is and What Should Never Be
Tangerine
Black Dog
Yep, III is my favorit album.
II is in second place,
-
That is a rough question.
I don't listen to as much Zeppelin as I used too so here goes in no real order.
In The Light
No Quarter
Achilles Last Stand
In My Time Of Dying
The Rain Song
The Battle Of Evermore
Gallows Pole
Tangerine
Born-Y-Aur Stomp
Bonzo's Montreux
Kashmir
Now I'll have to listen to some and revise that list later.

A couple of people have mentioned songs from Physical Graffiti. Here are a few more.
Houses of the Holy
Custard Pie
Trampled Under Foot
The Wanton Song
I just closed the door to my office so nobody would catch me listening to my iPod (can't wear them at the station since you can't hear pipes or the SAR alarm) and I'm blowing out my eardrums with Houses of the Holy.
-

IMO, Achilles Last Stand does, but just my opinion. =D
I agree with the other sentiment above that In Through the Out Door is probably my favorite album. All of My Love and Fool in the Rain stand out.
That said, those are just some of many a good song. I would start listing other albums and songs, but I would end up listing them all.
-
I remember liking "Ramble On". I was stoned all the time when I listened to Led Zeppelin, so I don't remember much.
I really hate "The Immigrant Song", but I don't remember why.

Hate and The Immigrant Song never belong in the same sentance :O
-
I remember why I don't like that song. We saw them on the first tour (or was it the second?). Robert Plant was wearing really tight white pants. When he did that song, he either took a gazillion Viagra pills, or he had a link of baloney in his pants.
I thought it was pretty slimy.
Now, on listening to the song years later, I just don't like it as a song. ;)
-
Levee and Houses of the Holy, with Stairway a close 3rd. Good stuff :cool:
-

Because you're racist.

While I agree that Zepp is a truly magnificent band , the original heavy metal band, they are not. Black Sabbath springs to mind immediately also, Steppenwolf was the first to actually use the term "heavy metal"
I like smoke and lightning, heavy metal thunder
-
But Cream really opened the door to hard rock. The original power trio.

Racial memory of one of your ancestors getting pillaged by vikings?

Babe I’m Gonna Leave You
I ain't jo-kin wo-man ...I got to ram-ble.
-

Oddly enough, my ancestors on one side were Vikings (pillagers) and on the other side were English (pillaged).
The notion of an English rocker singing about being a Viking is as odd as a Frenchman singing about being in the Wehrmacht.
Steppenwolf was a great band. Too bad they can't do revival tours, what with John Kaye putting out contracts on the other band members and all.
-

Not that odd. First there were these guys: Charlemange Division (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/33rd_Waffen_Grenadier_Division_of_the_SS_Charlemagne_%281st_French%29)
Then after June 1940 Alsace/Lorraine was re-incorporated back into the Reich and young men in those provinces were drafted into the Wehrmacht.
And there were lots of sausages...... =D
-
Hmm. French soldiers who didn't surrender. Must have been some sort of mass birth defect.
-
That's why they fought for the Germans. You have to REALLY kick their ass before they'd surrender. ;)
-
I recall freshman year HS when my buddy let me borrow this new album that came out called "Paranoid". My mother made me give it back immediately. :laugh:
it weren't no joke though, mom was a wrecker. She broke my "Balllad of John and Yoko" 45 because she thought they were talking about crucifying Jesus.
"Christ, you know it ain't easy. You know how hard it can be. The way things are going, they're going to crucify me".
Yup. mom got the Beatles wanting to crucify Jesus out of that. Mom never could get anything straight. ;/
-
Can't stand LZ, way overplayed to the point of being annoying.
I was always fond of Over the Hills and Far Away.
I'll make an exception for that song, its good.
-

So are the rest of the bands from back then on these "classic rock" stations which you could set your watch to by their play schedule. If just one of those idiots was smart enough to dig back into the great but never played tunes of yesteryear rather than continue to overplay the over played stuff they'd be tapping a gold mine.
-
I mean like, Gimme three steps mister... [barf]
here's a good skynyyrd tune you never hear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bu4_mmkIvo
-

Hasn't that song been used for cat litter commercials? :laugh:
-
I don't know but that's not a bad idea. You could lead in with "That Smell" and then go into "Three Steps" to save the day.
-

Amen! The classic rock stations around here are so boring it dries my mouth out because of that.
Then, the one "heavy metal" station plays nothing but music that only makes me think of somebody whining.

Yeah, the "classic" rock stations play a lot of 60's and 70's schlock over and over again because they don't have to pay too much in royalties. That's why you don't often hear stuff from the super-bands.
But there's a lot of good stuff that they miss that wouldn't cost them much: Canned Heat, Traffic, John Mayall, and other lesser-known groups that had great songs.

After Lennon said that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus, coming out with that song was a stupid move. Can't say I blame your mother for throwing it out, as she probably just added 1+1.

Now you're talking. What was FM rock back in the day when nobody listened to FM. That's where all the college stations were hiding. Kings College (I think) in Scranton back in the early 70's had a Saturday morning rock show on FM. That's where I discoverd Layla, The Allmans, Traffic and all the other alternatives and lesser known songs by the same bands that AM was playing. I used to LIVE through the week just for that Saturday morning show. I want to do that again on my own damn station. :cool:

Yes, in her own convoluted way of looking at the world I guess that would be true. Still, I think I paid $.055 for that damn record! :mad:

If Jack Black was not in that movie it would be one of the BEST rock movies ever...
He brings it down to decent...

Throw in Savoy Brown and a few others....and that pretty much describes my I-tunes downloads over the past year. My teen daughter gives me some weird looks in the car when songs like "Low spark of High High Heeled Boys" comes on.

Here's another one you'll probably never hear on the classic rock stations:

Carouselambra gets seriously heavy amplification around these parts.
So does No Quarter, as well as Baby, Come On Home. (Love that John Paul Jones classic Wurlitzer/Leslie roller rink organ sound!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcJ0GB2dIR0
When I got my first electric guitar circa 1980 or so, I couldn't wait to learn Jimmy Page's guitar licks from Fool In The Rain.
Lately, I've been teaching my young nephew to play the same on his new axe. =D

Thanks for the reminder of CODA.

here's a good skynyyrd tune you never hear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bu4_mmkIvo
I'll go head to head with you over Skynyrd tunes. I have every album they ever made including the "flames" Street Survivors album. "On the hunt" Pretty fantastic, actually.
How about "Preacher's Daughter"?
My favorite Skynyrd is, and will always be:
"The ballad of Curtis Loewe"
And I would like to contend that this is a friendly competition.
-
One of my favorite lines in all of rock and roll is from "Gimme Back My Bullets" :
"I drank enough whiskey to float a battleship around"
That's a lotta whiskey. :lol:
-
|Time to drink a couple beers and get into a rant about the "new" Skynyrd.
When I was in the Navy one of my buddy's last name was "Skinner". He walked around all day with "Skynyyrd" stenciled neatly where his name was supposed to be on his working uniform. :laugh:

You sound a lot like a friend of mine from the mid-late 80's. He was always saying that... That was from "Second Helping", I believe. 'nother great tune.
-
I've got the original flame cover of Street Survivors, too.
Had to buy a second "One More From the Road" as I wore-out the first. Pissed me off when I bought the release of the cd and "T For Texas" had been omitted.
Saw them at UCSB in '76 not too long before the plane went down.
Can't abide by the new Skynyrd.

San Diego Which I think was the first stop of the crash tour. Great show. Journey opened. They were unkown at the time but took off right after that.

I used to know a girl from Georgia that played "One More" over and over. T for Texas was her favorite tune. I'm sure she's out there somewhere all pissed about it too. :laugh:

This Led Zeppelin thing is coming to Tulsa in July. The wife wants to go. She knows damned well I ain't gonna go with her so she plans to take her girl friend, same one she took to see that Meatloaf guy.
I guess I better remind her before she buys tickets that we will likely be in Colorado to attend a family reunion on the day in question.
I'll be scum for a few days.
